Frequently Asked Questions

Is your auction open to the public?
Brasher's San Jose Auto Auction is a wholesale, dealer-only operation. Public attendees are not permitted on the premises. In the future, there may be occasional sales open to the public. No such sale is currently scheduled.

I'm a licensed dealer. How do I register to buy and sell at the auction?
If you're set up on AuctionACCESS®, just be sure to bring your card with you to the auction and our dealer registration department will help you out. If you haven't bought at Brasher's before, there will be some paperwork to fill out. See our dealer registration page for more info and to download a registration packet.

How can I preview the vehicles I want to buy?
We are open Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm. The best time to preview is Wed afternoon and Thurs morning before the sale starts. You can also log in to AuctionPipeline above-right on this page to get preview lists and run order.

How do I consign a vehicle to the sale?
Be sure to contact the auction early in the week so we can save spots for you. Then, you can print and fill out our check-in sheets to send over with the cars. See our transportation page for information if you'd like us to help get them here.

Can you send me sale information every week?
With AuctionPipeline, it's easy to preview inventory for a given sale. Additionally, you can elect on the Pipeline to have pre AND post-sale inventory lists automatically emailed to you each week on a day and time you specify. You can also access dealer-specific reports like Purchase Summaries, Sold Awaiting Title, and Flooring Summaries. Contact the auction if you need help getting set up.

How else can I keep track of what's going on at the auction?
The best way to know what's going on is to come see us every Thursday! You can also check out this page for a number of subscription options to stay up to date on the latest Brasher's news.

If you have any other questions at all, be sure to give us a call. We're happy to help.
